Anis de Flavigny Candies

The Anis de Flavigny are white, pea-sized anise hard candies made with clean ingredients: an anise seed harvested in Mediterranean countries in August, sugar from GMO free sugar beet, and all natural flavors like orange blossom, rose, mint, violet...

This French hard candy traditionally symbolizes the happiness and fertility that families and friends wish to young married couples. Sharing a candy that holds an aniseed in its heart is a demonstration of love. All of these engravings and illustrations on the vintage gift metal oval tins, taken from the Abbey’s archives, were designed by the successive manufacturers of Anis de l’Abbaye de Flavigny to portray a love story between a shepherd and his shepherdess.
